NFL Football Season 2008- 09
Favorite Players by Team
NFC - New England Patriots
Matt Cassel
Cassel has plenty of talent around him and he has a career 61.4 completion percentage (although, to be fair, he's only thrown 57 passes in his NFL career), but it's hard to say much about his football IQ given his restricted playing time.
Even if he's not able to oversee information as quickly as Warner or Brady, he does have one thing going for him: understanding with the offense and why not? His been watching and reviewing for years.
To be more honest about the situation and game facts, there’s a difference between knowing where to go with the ball during no-pressure practices and being able to imitate that in high-stress game conditions.
Matt Cassel did just enough in his first game as Tom Brady's substitute, but it helped that the Jets and Favre did very little to take advantage of his innocence, bottom line, there was no excuse for the Jets to lose this game.
Now, for the next games, will Matt Cassel be able to change a play at the line of scrimmage based on the defense? Identify the open receiver? Get him the ball before getting smoked by a linebacker? We have many, many questions, bottom line is... we have to wait.
